Design Files
You can output embroidery designs in a variety of ways – saving to computer,
USB memory stick, floppy disk, ATA PC card, or sending directly to machine for
stitching.
JANOME Embroidery Software uses three embroidery file formats – JAN, JEF
and SEW – which allow you to make the most of both outline and stitch formats.
JAN format is an object-based format while JEF and SEW formats are
stitch-based. By default, EasyDesign saves to JAN format while EasyEdit saves
to JEF. These formats contain all information necessary both for stitching a
design and for later modification. When opening designs created or saved in
other formats, EasyDesign converts the design internally to JAN format while
EasyEdit converts to JEF format. You can then modify it using the full range of
JANOME Embroidery Software features.
SEW file cards for MC9000, MC5700 or MC5000 machine can be transferred
onto PC using the ScanCard program. In order to read SEW file card using a
ScanCard you need optional accessories – Reader/Writer Box, AC Adapter and
RS-232C Cable.
